I have been around a long time, and we have been talking about fusion for a long, long time.

I have got to get out of this job, and Mary Bono took that.

I think the modernization effort you are all spearheading is obviously a top priority for our 2021 budget request for the National Nuclear Security Administration.

My friends on the other side of the aisle have been clamoring for this day since President Trump was elected. The refusal to accept the election results and, later, the findings of the Mueller investigation have brought forth Articles of…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, the ranking member of the Appropriations Committee has done a tremendous job navigating all these bills through a very difficult negotiation in such a short timeframe. Her steady…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The bill under consideration is an attempt to protect our elections from foreign interference. That is a goal that I certainly share, and I think all of us share. In fact, I tried to offer an amendment…

I thank the ranking member and chairwoman for their good work. I rise today in support of the continuing resolution. Like many of my colleagues, we are hopeful that, once we had a budget deal, we would move to conference and the…

As a Member from California, it is hard for me to believe that the majority could possibly propose an election security bill that doesn't address the major vulnerabilities related to ballot harvesting. Ballot harvesting is where paid…

I will be very quick. I am shocked: The Russians are cheating. Now that our treaty obligations are suspended, the United States needs to move forward with developing ground-launched INF missile capability. Madam Chair, I support the…

May I ask the Chair how much time is remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Indiana has 2 minutes remaining.

We need to stand by our allies and oppose Iran. This amendment is not helpful. I encourage all of our colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment…

Just 5 months ago, the Department of Defense completed a public assessment titled ``Report on Effects of a Changing Climate to the Department of Defense.'' The report accompanying the bill includes further directive language regarding…

At the outset, it should be clear: There is no country that is more hostile to the interests of the United States and our allies, especially Israel, than Iran. In fact, as we debate this bill, the U.S. and our partners in the region are…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am not in opposition to the gentleman's amendment, I just find it unnecessary. There is robust funding in the bill for this activity to fight encroachment on our military bases, and that is really kind…
